Chapter 124: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts

Especially among these coats, in addition to a large number of Han people captured by Jiannu from Guannei, there are many Liaodong or Guanning generals who have been captured by Jiannu on the battlefield over the years, and some are former Dongjiang generals.

Although the news of the defeat of Jiannu in the Guannai two years ago was blocked by Huang Taiji's order, there is no impermeable wall in this world, a large number of Jiannu did not return home, and the wives and children in the family are inevitably crying and crying, and those slaves of their family inevitably heard some rumors, and everyone knows about this after a long time.

In addition, Jiannu has begun to show weakness in the past two years, although he is still very mean to these slaves, but it is obvious that he is no longer as arrogant and domineering as in the past, so these Han slaves who were taken captive outside the customs have seen some eyebrows.

During this time, some people secretly preached everywhere in the Jiannu control area, indicating that the army was going to counterattack the fortified areas in the near future, and the Jiannu army could not resist it at all, so some Han people who were a little bold began to secretly contact each other, waiting for the opportunity to rise up.

When it was confirmed that the news was not fake, and after hearing the news that the Ming army had been defeated by the Jiannu army in a row, these Han slaves who had been taken out of the customs finally couldn't bear it anymore, and began to rebel one after another, killing their masters, the whole family, and then gathering together to fight with the Jiannu.

This also led the entire population of Jiannu, in just half a month, a large number of people were killed, many places did not wait for the arrival of the Ming army, it has changed banners, was exposed to the rebellion of the clothed slaves, and sent people to meet the arrival of the Ming army.

After the battle of Haizhou, the Yujia army and the Ming army from all walks of life drove straight in, and almost never encountered any decent resistance.

In many places, there is no need for the Yu family army or the Ming army to do it, and the clothed slaves inside have already done it themselves, slaughtering their masters and their families, and then opening the door to surrender and return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty.

On the third day of October, just over half a month before the end of the Haizhou War, Yu Xiaotian had already personally supervised the division, and the vanguard of the army had already approached the city of Shenyang.

In the past few days, Huang Taiji has sent envoys to Yu Jiajun many times to find Yu Xiaotian to deliver the surrender table, saying that he is willing to abdicate from now on, cancel the name of the Qing State, no longer call the emperor, and is willing to submit to Xiaotian, just ask Yu Xiaotian to give them a way to live.

But Yu Xiaotian completely ignored this, and even did not see the envoys sent by Jiannu, and directly ordered people to kill these envoys, pick their heads, and continue to wave his army to Shenyang City.

Along the way, some Jiannu saw that the situation was not good, and they no longer returned to their usual arrogance, and they took the initiative to surrender, just seeking a way to live, but the result was often that many people were directly killed by the Guan Ning army or those who did not accept the night or scouts of the Yu family army before they saw the main force of the Yu family army, and only a few people were lucky enough to become prisoners.

The grievances accumulated between Jiannu and the Han people for decades have erupted in an all-round way, without any mercy at all, without any mercy at all, so that Jiannu has also thoroughly tasted the taste of a loser.

When the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, the third day of the tenth month of the early winter of the seventh year of Chongde of the Qing Dynasty, as the first snow of the year fell on this land, the Yujia army and the Guanning army finally came to Shengjing City, and the other troops bypassed Shengjing City and began to attack in the direction north of Shengjing, clearing the remnants of Jiannu in the north of Shengjing, accepting the territory of a large number of Jiannu who had mutinied, and began to restore order in various places.

Huang Taiji sent people to beg for surrender many times to no avail, knowing that this time Yu Xiaotian had completely moved the idea of destroying their Houjin, and knew that there was no result in continuing to beg for mercy, so he had to order to summon Shengjing and all the remnants of the surrounding Jiannu to enter Shengjing City and make a last stand.

And at this time, in the entire Shengjing City, even if all the Jiannu who can afford to hold swords and guns are gathered, plus the last elite left in the two flags of Zhenghuang Banner and Yellow Flag, there are only less than 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Shengjing City, and there are only tens of thousands of Jiannu Banner people left, the old, weak, sick and disabled, who are unable to go out of the city and engage in any form of decisive battle with the Yujia army, they can only defend the city in the end until their final destruction.

Yu Xiaotian stopped on the high slope outside the city of Shenyang, and observed the most important city outside the pass through the telescope, although it is the capital of Jiannu, but whether it is the scale or momentum, it is far inferior to the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty.

But you can't underestimate Shenyang City too much, after all, Jiannu has been building the capital here for decades, and after many years of operation, the city wall here has been built quite solidly by Jiannu, and has a fairly complete defense system and facilities.

And now the weather has turned colder, he led the army out of the customs when it was still a hot summer, in just a few months, this place has become ice and snow, two days ago a heavy snowfall, to this land wrapped in a layer of silver-white plain, between the heaven and the earth has become much cleaner.

Only the Shenyang city in the distance, between the snow, like a black and dreary beast, entrenched between heaven and earth, and then look far away, is the towering mountains in the distance, a wide river, like a long dragon lying on the east of Shenyang City, the farmland outside the city has already been harvested at this time, covered by the heavy snow below, it looks like a flat river, unobstructed.

A team of Yujia troops drove to the outside of Shenyang City, gradually surrounding the entire Shenyang City, and there were many Guan Ning troops and those captive slaves outside the Guanguan who had recently surrendered to the Jia army, at this time, they were also gathered in Shenyang City as helpers, waiting for the final revenge.

All kinds of four-wheeled baggage wagons and various types of gun wagons, under the traction of mules and horses, sprayed hot air in the snow, dragged the vehicles hard, and slowly entered the designated position.

At this time, the soldiers and generals had already changed into new warm cotton clothes and hats, and they still maintained their military appearance and were busy outside the city.

While the ground was not completely frozen and thick, all kinds of fortifications were quickly excavated, and one after another artillery trucks arrived near the fort, and in the sound of countless artillerymen, heavy siege guns were pushed into the temporary forts of the position.

On the head of Shenyang City, there is a lifeless look, those flags of various colors representing the Eight Banners, there is a weak hanging on the city wall, occasionally with a small wind, fluttering slightly, but there is no figure swaying on the city wall.

The scouts who arrived in advance had already let the last soldiers and generals on the city wall experience the power of the Yu family's arms and guns, and some of the Jiannu who didn't know the benefits were thrown over on the city wall one by one by the cold guns of the Yu family army scouts, so that no one dared to show their bodies on the city wall again.

Therefore, the whole city of Shenyang in the snow, it seems to be lifeless, no lifeless, the limited Tartar generals, are afraid to hide behind the battlements, occasionally through the guò battlements of the lookout holes to look out, and quickly retract their heads, because no one knows, the next moment will be a bullet from the lookout hole with great accuracy, open their heads, this is not the first time such a thing has happened.

Yu Xiaotian also changed into a thick fur coat at this time, with a pair of warm fur boots under his feet, and a red cloak that belonged to him on his back, although the whole person stood in the ice and snow, but he didn't feel the cold at all.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian's mood was somewhat complicated, the result he wanted was now in front of his eyes, the last strong enemy of the nation was about to disappear in front of his eyes, which made him feel a sense of loneliness that he couldn't find the enemy by looking around with his sword.

Over the years, he has faced all kinds of challenges and enemies, and now he has finally kicked away one by one the stumbling blocks that stand in his way, and now only the last stumbling block in front of him is left, and he will soon be kicked into the dustbin of history.

From then on, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could no longer threaten the Central Plains and lead the Chinese nation into a bottomless abyss.

Jiannu, who was once arrogant to the extreme, has become desperate at this time, and can't find any chance to revive, and the current Ming is no longer the Ming of the past, all because of his appearance, and earth-shaking changes have taken place, history seems to have progressed to this time, has become plausible.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaotian had a dazed feeling, as if he didn't know what to do next, but soon he shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, in fact, what he was going to do in the future had already been figured out by him a long time ago, and now he was only one step away from success, so what else was there to hesitate about?

In two days, the Yu Jiajun and the Guanning army joined forces, and the entire Shenyang City was encircled, including Kong Youde and Yu Zhenshan's subordinates, and now they have also arrived from the Liaodong Peninsula to join this final decisive battle.

Call it a decisive battle, in fact, at this time, it is too much to raise the Jiannu, and now they have no ability at all except to hide in the city and shiver, and they pose any threat to the family army.

After Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath, he waved his hand and said, "Let's start!" Give Huang Taiji an ultimatum and make him surrender to Kaicheng by himself, otherwise when we attack the city, there will be no chickens and dogs left! Let them also taste what it is like to be slaughtered! ”

A fast horse and four hooves splashed a slip of snow, and quickly rushed to the south gate of Shenyang City, a cavalry spoke a Liaodong accent, shouted loudly into the city, and informed the city of Xiaotian's ultimatum to Huang Taiji.

There was not a trace of movement in the city, but someone rushed to send the news to the imperial palace in Shengjing City, and reported it to Huang Taiji, who was sitting in the palace.

After Huang Taiji listened to the news reported by the servants, his face was wooden, he didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes looked very wooden, and he said after a while: "Although I don't deny that he is a hero in Yu Xiaotian, my Daqing is indeed not his opponent, but the matter has come to this, if you want to insult me Daqing, he is not qualified enough for Yu Xiaotian!"

Since I succeeded to the throne, although I have worked hard, but He Naitian does not care about me, my Qing Dynasty has not been able to enter the Central Plains after all, but today I will fall under the hands of Yu Xiaotian, I feel ashamed of my father and the emperor, and I am ashamed of those heroes of the Qing Dynasty!

But if I want to tie myself up and beg to surrender now, don't think about it anymore, I must not continue to humiliate my ancestors, since he wants to capture my Shengjing, then let him come!

I will personally fight them to the last soldier, and I will never be humiliated by them any longer! Go and sue sù that Yu Xiaotian, please ask him to just attack the city! I'm waiting for him here! ”

After listening to Huang Taiji's reply, Yu Xiaotian nodded slightly and sighed: "Huang Taiji is a masterpiece after all, but he was born at the wrong time, if it weren't for Yu Mou's appearance, I'm afraid he would really have a chance to ascend to the world, but unfortunately the world is unpredictable!" I respect him for having such a spirit, so let Yu let him get his wish and die like a man!

Pass my command, now start the general attack! ……”
